Ingredients

1⁄2 cup soy sauce
1⁄2 cup sugar
1-1 1⁄2" piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
1 tbsp. bourbon
1 3 1⁄2-lb. chicken

Directions

1. For the sauce, cook soy sauce and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Stir in ginger, garlic, and bourbon and cook 30 minutes. Remove ginger and garlic. Pour sauce into a small mixing bowl.
2. Preheat oven to 375°. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Tuck wings under the back and tie legs together with kitchen string for even cooking. Using a pastry brush, coat chicken with sauce both inside the cavity and on the outside.
3. Place chicken in a baking pan and roast for about 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes. (If you want a darker bird, baste more frequently.) Chicken is done when juice runs clear from a pierced leg. Allow chicken to rest 15 minutes before carving. Serve with long beans or other green vegetables, and garnish with lengths of scallion greens or garlic chives.

Serves 4.
